Question

How do I turn this equation into standard form?
8x=-5y+3

Answer 1

Explanation:

To write a linear equation in standard form, move each variable term to the left side of the equation and simplify.

Ax+By=C

Since x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

8x−3=y

Move y to the left side of the equation because it contains a variable.

8x−3−y=0

Move 3 to the right side of the equation because it does not contain a variable.

8x−y=3
